Saved music to desktop folder but won't go into itunes

I had to delete and reinstall itunes. I backed up music to seperate folder in desktop and ipod still has all music on it also. When I go to load folder into itunes it doesn't go. I can put in the purchased itunes store music back into itunes, but the other music I have won't go into itunes. (music from computer not from purchases in itunes. It used to be in itunes library before the reinstall of itunes. any sugestions?

Are you dealing with the ipod_control folder? If so, you have to go into each "f00" folder and drag the individual songs into itunes. If not, what happens when you try to drag one song into itunes? I don't fully understand the reasoning for creating a backup on the desktop. Your stuff stays in the music folder unless you have random data loss or if you physically move it. It usually helps to check sizes when dealing with issues like this though. If you right-click and go to properties, what is the size of the folder on the desktop? My music? Go into settings-->about and what is the size breakdown on the ipod.

Videos convert, but won't load into iTunes

I use Videora to convert my videos for iTunes. Occasionally a video will convert, but when I try to "Add File To Library" it won't add. It only happens to some of the videos, not all. Any ideas?

Stop using a shoddy piece of programming.

Apple TV connects to internet but won't log into iTunes or show any icons

I have had my apple tv for just over a year, updating it with the most recent software all of the time. I recently moved across the country, and have since had trouble with my unit. I use my time capsule for creating a wireless network within my home, and it works fine for all of my other devices, so I know the problem is with the Apple TV.
When I tried connecting my apple tv it never left the Activation screen, so after an hour I skipped it and went to manual setup. The internet is connected fine, but when I go to turn on home sharing or sign into my itunes, it either tells me my login is invalid (not true becuase it works on all other apple devices) or that itunes is unavailable. I tried to reset the unit to its factory settings but was told, again, that it could not connect to the apple network. I went out and purchased a cord to connect my apple tv to my computer and did the restore that way, but still have had no luck. When I reconnected it, all that showed up again was the computers and settings buttons and there was no hope of connection to itunes or home sharing.
Six hours later, I have done everythng from unplugging the time capsule, using another internet network, changing tvs, unplugging my apple tv, setting my location, etc and NOTHING works. I'm ready to scream. I'm a devout apple coustomer but I think its outrageous that beause something is wrong with their system I should have to pay for them to help me. Does anyone have any tips?! I'm desperiate.
Oh, there is no apple store within an hour of where I am, so going in to get help is not an option.

Videos won't import into iTunes 7

I want to put some of my own videos onto my new iPod video, but I can't put any videos into iTunes. I've tried dragging and dropping, "import" and "add file". And nothign ever shows up. How am I suppossed to put video into itunes that I don't buy from the iTunes store? Thanks for the help.

This also happens with me. I have an Intel Core Duo 17", running iTunes 7.1 with the latest Quicktime, and OS 10.4.4. My movies work great in Quicktime, but won't import into iTunes at all. When I try to drop them on my iPod directly, it tells me that my 5th gen iPod can't display video.
I brought my iPod into work today, and hooked it up to the G5/dual 1.8 tower here, also running iTunes 7, and quicktime (7.1.3 I think?), OS 10.3.9. I was able to drop the videos directly into iTunes, and they showed up fine. I was also able to then put the video on my iPod.
As for the video, I converted them to .mp4 files with a 3rd party converter from .mpg files.
Interested to see what the solution is. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.
Or iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them.

Music Plays on iPod Touch won't update to iTunes 10.5

number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.

Problem with iTunes. I have Windows 8 on a new laptop. Installed latest version of iTunes. Can play music in My Library but when I click on Itunes Store I get the message "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I have a new laptop with Windows 8 as operating system. Installed latest version of iTunes ontop computer. I can play music in My Library but when I click on iTunes, I get the message " iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available."
Anyone know what is the cause and if there is a resolution? Have tried to re-installing iTunes and have also tried restoring laptop to an earlier date.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

What happens when you try? Does the iPod even appear in iTunes? Have you tried a different cable or different USB ports on each PC?
Need a little more information.

Command quit will close the iTunes window but won't quit the iTunes app

iTunes 12.1.0.50
Command quit will close the iTunes library window... but won't quit the iTunes app properly.
The iTunes icon in the dock still says the app is live... click the icon in the dock and the library window pops up again.
On the second try the app will always close properly.

I had the same problem: after updating to iTunes 9.1 (no errors) I just couldn't launch it. In Task Manager I saw that the iTunes process was running but it never really opened.
After nights of frustration of scanning the net for solutions I finally managed to get iTunes to run again.
1) Firstly I deleted the new iTunes 9.1 and all programmes associated with it according to the directions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
It also mentions you should remove the Bonjour service but I could never make that work (no privileges or something like that).
2) After that I reinstalled a previous version of iTunes. In this case 9.0.3.15. I got the download here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
3) Then I disabled the Bonjour service with the MSCONFIG method mentioned at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
There they state that you should check which service clashes with Windows by trying to disable one service at a time. I found out pretty quickly that it was just the Bonjour service that caused the problems. All other services could run normally.
After the reboot iTunes finally started up again and I was able to restore my library.
Only thing is that I can not use the Remote App on my iPod Touch. That apparently required the use of Bonjour.
I hope this method helps for some of you!
Cheers,
Bart

I have unintalled and reinstalled itunes, updated iphone 4 and it still comes up in my computer folder but will not connect to itunes itself says there is an error to connecting help please!

Hey there Jachin W.,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to your home Wi-Fi suddenly on 2 different iOS devices. I would be interested to know if the affected phones are able to connect to a different Wi-Fi connection, but barring that I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the devices and the Wi-Fi connection:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section from toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Videos wonät upload into iTunes

I've tried everything, videos just won't upload into iTunes,so I can't get them into my iPod,either! Is there some special trick into doing it?
I've tried dragging it to the Videos,adding it to the Library,dragging it to the Library,adding it to Videos, voodoo,wizadry,curses... everything! It just won't do it. Where's the problem?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Videos must be compatible with Quicktime to be able to be played in iTunes.
Try opening Quicktime and then open one of the videos you want to add to iTunes in Quicktime. See if it plays in Quicktime?
What is the file type of the videos you are trying to add (MOV, WMV, etc.)?
